Majidbaria Shahi Mosque, 15th century mosque in Mirzaganj Upazila, Bangladesh.

The limestone and terracotta brick mosque measures 49 feet in length and 35 feet in width, featuring three carved mihrabs and six minars.

Sultan Ruknuddin Barbak Shah's minister Khan-i-Azam Uzayr Khan commissioned the construction of this mosque between 1465 and 1466 CE.

The structure represents the first brick building in the Greater Barisal region and maintains its role as an active prayer location for local Muslims.

The Department of Archaeology manages the preservation of this religious site while keeping it open for prayers and historical research purposes.

A cyclone in 1584 led to the mosque's abandonment until the 1860s when British officials rediscovered it inhabited by a religious ascetic.
